People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.
I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?
It is a big deal because i’m a transman.
It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.
Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give same sex couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.

Woo! We’ve made it to the title page! I was too excited to not post early. Only five weeks ago did I start out on this adventure and now I feel like it really is on it’s way! Today is truly the day, Boy!
That being said, I realize that this image is a double page splash, so if you want to get the pretty little details or just read it easier you can click this page to embiggen!
As a general inquiry, what sort of merch are you guys interested in seeing from me? I have a few things in mind, but I always enjoy getting reader feedback on things they’d like to have. Perhaps you have an idea I didn’t think of but is awesome.
Anyway, it only gets better and more funny from here. So stay tuned!
